Hi Jim,

>>All of which begs the question: can we use the spectrum gained from reallocation of broadcast video more efficiently?<<

As all bits are not of equal value, a better problem statement acknowledges value of bits. As all spectrum is not of equal value, reallocation is one way to achieve National Policy goals, and sharing spectrum is another. Measuring life-cycle cost is not in a vacuum, it is with respect to alternatives.

How about 'can we use the spectrum more effectively (considering National Policy, Security and International Relations)', rather than efficiently (Life-cycle cost per bit)?
